project duration

abstract

The goal is to endow web agents with the thinking ability that allows them to maintain their ontology, by continuously questioning the knowledge contained in it and comparing this knowledge with answers retrieved from the semantic web. We develop the agents' skills wrt deducing implicit knowledge, giving explanations, and trusting or distrusting various sources.
